New Delhi: US President Donald Trump will not visit India for the Quad Summit later this year. The strained relations between the US President and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the last few months are being cited as the reason behind Donald Trump’s decision. The New York Times has claimed in this regard in a report published on Saturday, August 30, 2025.
The report quoted people familiar with Trump’s schedule as saying, “After telling Modi that he would visit India for the Quad Summit later this year, Trump no longer plans to visit India in the autumn.” However, there has been no official response from India regarding this claim.
India is going to host the Quad summit later this year.
Amid trade tensions between India and the USA, the New York Times reported how Trump and Modi’s relations deteriorated after Trump’s repeated claims of mediating the four-day military clash between India and Pakistan in May. However, India denied this claim.
According to the report, “President Trump’s repeated claims to resolve the India-Pakistan conflict angered Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and this was just the beginning”. It claimed that Modi’s patience with Trump is failing. Trump and Modi had a 35-minute phone call on June 17, which took place after Trump returned to Washington from the G7 summit in Canada, which was also attended by Prime Minister Modi.
According to the report, Modi and Trump were scheduled to meet during the G7 leaders’ summit in Kananaskis, Canada, but Trump returned to Washington early. Before leaving Kananaskis and ending his first Canada visit in a decade, Modi spoke to Trump over the phone in Washington. During the phone conversation on June 17, Trump again said how proud he was to end the military conflict and mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. According to people aware of the development, the clear implication was that Modi should do the same and nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
The New York Times wrote in its report that the White House did not acknowledge the conversation of June 17, nor did Trump give any information about it on his social media handles. Trump has repeated his claim of stopping the conflict between India and Pakistan more than 40 times since May 10.
According to the report, since Trump has imposed an additional 25 per cent duty on India for purchasing Russian oil, this particularly hefty penalty on India appears to be a punishment for not engaging in discussions.
